UltraRunning Magazine is proud to announce the launch of our 2024 Old School Ultras calendar. These events are a collection of legendary races that have stood the test of time and represent the ethos of ultrarunning. Each race was hand-selected for its history, community of volunteers and race organizers, support of small businesses and exemplary effort in trail maintenance and environmental stewardship, representing the unique culture of our sport.

It certainly proves people nowadays would rather run 50K than the classic 24-hour.
What, no Bighorn 100?!! Possibly the most old school AND grassroots event out there.
Agree with Bighorn and add Bear 100 and Fat Dog 120
Agree with Bighorn and add Bear 100 and Fat Dog 120, San Juan Solstice 50
Plain 100 mile
White River 50 miler
Waldo 100k.
Don’t forget Old Dominion 100 – I’d say this one is the most old school out there by far.
Hot and rugged
Hear hear!
Western States 100… crickets
Old gabe 50k
McDonald Forest 50k in Corvallis, Oregon! One of the classics!
The nonprofit, old-school, volunteer-supported Virginia Happy Trails Running Club has been putting on the Bull Run 50-miler for 30 years to showcase East Coast trail running. The club’s Massanutten Mountain Trails 100 has been going for almost as long.
